Having been away from the Demon King's territory for so long, returning felt like "Ah, I'm finally home," even though the Demon King's territory, despite losing them for so long, was still developing in an orderly manner.
Moreover, centaurs have started coming to buy things in the Demon King's territory... because a cement road has been laid along the forest, making travel in the centaur territory much more convenient.
This is rather counterintuitive... because it's just a matter of paving the road, but the actual change isn't just making it slightly easier to travel; the journey has gone from "a day's rush" to "a day's walk."
If you travel by carriage, it will be even faster.
...
Satan Ye watched as the centaur leader arrived at the Demon King's territory and discussed the next offering with Youyou, and suddenly thought... why not get a special carriage to travel between the various territories?
Then the passengers would pay to keep the carriage running? Although it's unclear whether the costs can be recovered, it's still much more economical than each territory raising its own horses for transportation.
Or perhaps the Demon King could fund the raising of horses in various territories, and then the residents of those territories could rent the horses when they needed to ride them... I wonder if that would be feasible.
Let's ask Mr. Yinla when he gets back.
Thinking this way, Satan Ye realized that even if he wasn't in the Demon King's territory, as long as Yinla occasionally returned to arrange things, the Demon King's territory could still be well-organized, but...
What does it matter? After all, she's just a cute little devil.
"Hehehe, the meat is so delicious."
While watching Youyou and the centaur leader's conversation, Satan Ye didn't listen to what they were saying at all, and just ate the roast meat made by Mr. Lem in his hand... Although there were chefs on board at sea, there were no ingredients to indulge in luxury.
"I'm glad Your Highness is pleased."
As Mr. Lem spoke, he glanced at Satan Ye's tail, which had become slightly thinner from the journey, and decided it was best not to say anything more. He asked, "Did Mr. Yinla say when he would be back? I've reserved some dessert ingredients for him."
"He said he would come back after he finished dealing with things, but he didn't say a specific time... I also want to eat dessert."
Satan Ye responded that it had been a day or two since she returned to the Demon King's territory. Logically speaking, Yinla shouldn't have stayed for so long. Maybe something delayed her... What, do you think something unexpected might have happened?
Well, unless the World Tree turns into a tree-man and stands up using its roots as legs to beat up Inla, such an outrageous "accident" is unlikely to happen... After all, the elves are not to be trifled with.
Then, in the very next instant after she finished speaking, a phantom body solidified in the kitchen.
It's just a coincidence... No, Illa should have been directly teleported to Satan Ye's side.
"I'm back... Hmm, are you in the kitchen?"
As Yinla said this, because he had directly chosen to bind to Satan Ye's virtual coordinates, he had not observed the relative position himself before arriving in the main plane, so he did not know the specific landing point.
"Mr. Rum, could you please make me something to eat? Thank you..."
Mr. Lem nodded immediately upon hearing Yinla's greeting, and as he turned to enter the cooking room, he replied, "It's my duty, Mr. Yinla."
To be honest, sometimes Ira thinks Mr. Slime is really quite dashing. Despite being a special slime race specializing in war, he's content to be a chef according to his own wishes.
It's really great to be able to pursue your dreams.
"Mr. Yinla, have you finished your work?"
Satan asked, blinking her eyes. She seemed to be in a good mood, and her tail was wagging unconsciously... In her eyes, Yinla must be a very interesting teacher, right?
The knowledge taught is novel, and it always brings something new or new toy. Although the explanations are complicated, they are all quite useful. If you really don't want to listen anymore, you can interrupt or change the subject, or just let it go in one ear and out the other.
So we got along really well.
(Isabella, listening attentively with a look of despair, stubbornly trying to learn even when she can't remember: Huh?!)
"..."
"All done?... Look at my neck."
Yinla displayed the world runes, composed of pure black characters that resembled a collar, and explained to Satan Ye, who [couldn't tell the difference at all], "Now, human mana can also become my weapon."
It was at this moment that Satan Ye realized that what Yinla meant by "having things to do" was to modify the World Rune on her neck, and her eyes lit up noticeably... not because Yinla could now cut down enemies from the east to the west of the Empire.
Or rather, before thinking that "Mr. Yinla could destroy the empire," the first thing she thought of was... that would mean Yinla really liked the Demon King's territory.
"Yay!"
Satan Leaf cheered adorably.
"Uh-huh."
Yinla responded, stroking her head. Looking at Satan Leaf's cheerful little tail, he examined it for a moment and said, "Is it just my imagination? Your tail seems a bit thinner... Did it get thinner during the voyage?"
"..."
Satan Leaf, who was happily eating meat, gradually slowed down the way she stuffed the meat into her mouth... She turned her head to look at her now slender tail, and then at the meat in her hand.
If I eat more, won't I gain weight again?
“Mr. Yinla, your breakfast... and dessert for both of you.”
As Mr. Lem spoke, he came out of the kitchen and placed two plates of food in front of Yinla, then placed a pudding in front of Yinla and Satan Ye... It seems that Mr. Lem has learned how to make pudding during this time.
Yinla cut a piece of pudding with his fork and put it in his mouth... It was definitely better than the one he made himself last time.
That's wonderful, Mr. Rum.
"Mmm~ That feels so good..."
Satan Ye stretched as she ate, and said lazily, "After that, I can stay in the Demon King's territory. All I have to do is train every day."
Before, I felt exhausted every day during training, but after this long journey, I started to miss the days when all I had to do was train. It's so true, what a pity...
"You won't be idle for now; you'll be learning a lot from me later..."
As Yinla spoke, he ate while simultaneously discussing with Satan Ye the future plans for the Demon King's territory: "Next, I need to carefully redesign the architectural layout of the Demon King's territory to facilitate future development."
But in Satan Ye’s eyes, running around with Yinla to learn wasn’t actually a very tiring thing.
"In addition, the gold coin income from the sale and trade of Corpse Fragrance Medicine and Bee Flower Snow Moon needs to be converted into national strength as soon as possible, otherwise just saving money is not enough."
"..."
Did you misunderstand? You definitely misunderstood...
